Managed servers and managed services – The future of business on the Net.
What is a Managed Server?
A managed server is a server that is dedicated to a single customer. The server hardware/software and applications are monitored and maintained by Internet Colocation.
An Internet Colocation managed server product is a customized, managed server, meaning that from the beginning your server is made just for you. You choose the components that you need today. If, down the road, you need a faster processor, more hard drive space, or more bandwidth, the upgrade process is straightforward and affordable.
What are Managed Services?
Everyone knows the most expensive part of operating a network today is labor. Internet Colocation is ready, willing and able to allow you to outsource functions such as spam and virus filtering, security and firewall management and network monitoring.
Over the last several years the spread of spam and viruses has become epidemic on the Internet. Businesses spend thousands of dollars attempting to filter out spam and viruses. Worse yet, some don’t and fall victim to untold difficulties. Internet Colocation operates a robust, multi-server cluster of spam and virus filtering machines that quarantine potentially infected mail, ensuring that you never lose critical emails due to false positives while keeping your inbox relative clear of spam and virus-free.
Sleep easy knowing that we are monitoring your network. Our advanced network management system is able to email, page or voice notify you or your key employees in the event of a network incident or outage.
Enjoy the confidence that comes from multiple backups of your data in multiple locations. Internet Colocation can take automatic snapshots of your data throughout the day, storing it on our massive, redundant disk cluster. Of course, if you prefer, Internet Colocation will change tapes for you. We even provide regular hand-offs to leading document management companies such as Recall and Iron Mountain.
